I have been meaning to post an new entry believe me! The main problem that I have is not having anything to write about. I've been busy in the lab for most of the week, so I have been running PCR, gels, and sending 96 well plates for sequences (which I get to repeat again next week). As a result, the highlight of my week has been watching some movies on Turner Classic Movies. I saw "Lilies of the Field" on Thursday, which I really enjoyed . What I love most about watching movies on TCM is the intro to the movies by Robert Osborne. I love that he isn't too serious when he is introduces the movies (which isn't hard for movies like "Muppets take Manhattan"). I learned that the producer of "Lilies of the Field" used he is house as collateral for a loan to get the movie made. I made a list of the movies that I want to catch during the month, so I'm sure that I will write about those movies as well (which includes a Joseph Cotton movie that I have never seen).

1. Isn't molecular biology fun? Eech!
2. There's a Joseph Cotton movie you've never seen? :) Wish I could be there to see some of them with you.
Also, I like the additions to your blog lately. But I can't help but notice the irony of "bad grammar makes me [sic]" so near "they have less [sic] issues than trees".
Lilies of the Field is one of those films that Catholic schools adopt - in fact ANY movie with nuns becomes part of the catechism. The Sound of Music (of course), The Bells of St. Mary, The Trouble with Angels (a personal favorite), Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison, AND Lilies of the Field were all screened in the basement of St. Bartholomew School for 175 young,impressionable, and obedient mackerel-snappers. And no popcorn was ever served!
I love The Troubles with Angels! I think it is interesting that Homer is a Baptist and not Catholic. Did they offer you juice (and then warn you not to spill the juice by equating it to a sin)?
Catholic school basements never had CARPET...that would be the sin...extravagant wastefulness!
